High pitched buzz/rattle in the front passenger door

Hi Folks,

Been hanging out here as a spectator for a while now enjoying the community. But this is my first post.

I have an issue with our Countryman that is driving me absolutely nuts. We have 2600 miles on the vehicle but for about the last 1000 there has been a terrible rattle/buzzing coming from high up on the front passenger door. If I reach over and pull or push on the door handle I can sometimes get it to go away. But it has become clear that this fix is starting to work less and less.

I'm going to take it into the shop later this week but it really sounds like something is loose in inside the door. I'm hoping it is an easy fix and wondering if anyone else has this issue. I know this car is prone to general rattles an buzzes but this one is really obnoxious.

That said, it is my ONLY complaint with this car. Otherwise we are really happy with our mean little MINI. In any case, just thought I'd throw that out there.

Thanks!

I have this too, and spoken word audio through the speakers creates the same buzz. I have it on both, but it is worse on the passenger side. LMK if service figures out something. It's annoying as hell.
